Thank you very much for the reply to my adapter question.
I did not like the lens in the adapter at all and I removed it with a file as you
said. I had to use some more violent instruments on the lens, to make it focus
to infinity again. This works now very well.
I have not shot film so far with the new construction, I had only the impression
thru the viewfinder, that it is still vignetting. Actually I found that I can see the
small wires holding the mirror and the small notch in the middle of the mirror
(F3). So I hope the vignetting is gone and I got just confused with the viewfinder
image.
I have removed the hole lens holder in the adapter. The inner diameter of the
adapter is now wider than the inner diameter of the lens thread. I have checked
Marchesi's Handbook of Photography and the Vignetting is probably caused by
a part of the body. The effect should be reduced by stopping down to 3 steps.
When you are looking from the front thru the lens (on the center line) you do
not see the aperture diaphragm until you get to about f=9. Thus the vignetting
should get better with f=11 and slower.
I will do a series of test shots, when the weather is good enough.
Best wishes
Thomas
